About Forest City Flyfishing Club

Forest City Flyfishing Club is a community organization located in the Westminster neighbourhood of London, Ontario, dedicated to the sport of fly-fishing. Established in 1993 by a small group of like-minded enthusiasts, it serves a diverse membership that includes everyone from beginners and youth to experts and seniors. The club describes itself as a welcoming environment and a community that values nature, camaraderie, and the shared pursuit of the sport. The club offers a variety of educational and recreational activities, including bi-monthly meetings featuring guest speakers and fly-tying demonstrations. Members can participate in informal fly-tying nights with both beginner and advanced sessions, as well as casting clinics and etymology excursions that explore the science of aquatic insects. During the summer months, the club organizes regular fishing outings to local hot spots, where members can practice smallmouth bass fishing on the fly and test their own fly-tying creations. Members receive benefits such as access to all club meetings and events, priority registration for clinics and outings, and discounts on gear and accessories from various sponsors. The organization also encourages members to participate in conservation efforts to protect fishery habitats. The club holds its general meetings at The Western Ontario Fish & Game Protective Association Hall, and it invites outdoors enthusiasts curious about the Thames River and surrounding Southwestern Ontario waterbodies to visit during their upcoming events.
